Z Bars looked much better imo. Sweet bike though either way.

Well, just for ***** and giggles I put the sissy bar on with the apes. It gave it a more period chop sorta look. Sorry for the **** pictures.
Oh, since I shortened the rear fender previously I didn't like the angle that the sissy bar no sat at, it was too straight up and down. So I had to bend it, problem is it's 1/2" round bar, not easy to bend. So I laid it in the gutter with one end propped on the curb and ran it over with my truck. It worked great.

It looks straight old school chopper style. Maybe not a long bike but classic chop never goes outta style. A Panhead would fit the look a little better but whatever. The bars feel wide as hell though!

Did you pick the bike up in Phoenix? Looks like one I saw for sale on Craigslist awhile back. The way it used to look.

So many choices. All this swippy swappin.. Have we done the Z bars with the sissy bar yet...
I think you might have one of these.
THE FIRST CONVERTIBLE
The FX series went through several changes before being christened "Dyna Glide," the last being the FXR family.
As its name suggests, the Convertible's claim to fame is its ability to change from a stripped-down boulevard cruiser to a back-road tourer
Among these numerous models was the first Convertible, the FXRS Low Rider Convertible. Like the current Dyna Convertible, this model was billed as the do-it-all quick change Harley.
